And it may not be easy as coach Sabri Lamouchi is concerned about the fitness level of some of his injured players.<\/p>\n<p>Sol Bamba hasn\u2019t played a meaningful match in about a year. Top player Yaya Toure is still recovering from an injury he suffered in the last game of the season for Manchester City. If Toure is not ready to go then it will probably be Max Gradel in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The one positive for the team is that Didier Drogba has looked healthy and ready to go. Whether he still has anything left at 36 years old is the question. He did score two goals and had an assist in recent friendlies so perhaps the answer is positive on Drogba.\u00a0 Ivory Coast also has Salomon Kalou and Wilfried Bony so they should have some offense.\u00a0 But their chances really revolve around Toure as he is their top player.\u00a0 Ivory Coast needs to score because they don\u2019t have a great goalkeeper and their defense is weak.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Japan team is flying under the radar in Group C and they might just surprise everyone. This is the fifth straight World Cup for Japan so they know what to expect.\u00a0 The team has some talented players like Shinji Okazaki, Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa. Their goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima has also looked good lately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Cup Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think Japan has a real chance to win this game so I will take them at +190 and I will also play the game over the total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Cup Odds:\u00a0 Group C action on Saturday includes Japan taking on Ivory Coast in a match that can be seen on ESPN.\u00a0 Colombia is the favorite to win Group C but then it appears wide open for the second spot between Greece, Japan and Ivory Coast.\u00a0 This match looks really even with Ivory Coast [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1836","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World Cup Predictions \u2013 Japan vs. Ivory Coast on Saturday Looks to be Even and Low Scoring<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Japan takes on Ivory Coast on Saturday in Group C action.
